Back Up from the LinkStation

• Another TeraStation on the network

Preparing a Backup Destination

In Advanced Settings, click File Sharing.

Click to the right of "Folder Setup".

Choose the folder to set as a backup destination.
4
Click Edit.

Under "LAN Protocol Support", check "Backup" and click OK.
Notes:
• To configure a password, enter it in the "Remote Backup Password" field. Leave this field blank if you don't
want a password. If the target or source device is configured with a backup password, the folder will not be
listed as a target or source device in the folder list unless the configured password is entered.
• A backup password is not available when a new shared folder is created by a power user.
Backing up to a LinkStation or TeraStation on another network when connected by
a VPN
You can back up to a LinkStation or TeraStation on another network as long as the two networks are connected by a
VPN. Follow this procedure to enter the IP address or hostname of the target LinkStation or TeraStation.
